Optimal Design and Control of a Separately Excited DC Motor

Monzer N. Aker

The aim of this research project includes:

• Developing a method for optimising coupled systems of DC motors / PID controllers.
• Developing and simulationg the DC motor / PID controller
• Model using MATLAB
• Running this simulation for finding the optimum motor/controller system, optimised to drive a load having a torque of 6 Nm.
• Model using MATLAB

Motors / controllers derived from this method should have minimum performance indices, good response and low weight.
